Broadens the themes of Elementary German I from one’s immediate environment to aspects of everyday life related to work and leisure (e.g. food, shopping, living accommodations). Students develop their interpretive, interpersonal and presentational competence in meaningful contexts by working intensively with longer authentic texts in German such as websites, catalogs, short prose texts, music, images and videos. Through communicative tasks and presentations in small groups related to everyday life, students develop skills necessary to negotiate a variety of cultural settings in the German-speaking world.
